A Rival for Mt. Arlington.

The Newton Herald OF this week con-
tanned the following =" An important
transfer OF real estate has just been
made on the Sussex county side OF
Lake Hopatcong, which is the first step
in system of improvements at that
popular Summer resort, which, in extent
and cost, will rival the Transformation
that has taken place on the east side.
The property in question embraces a
tract of six hundred acres of land in
Byram township, bordering on the Lake,
which has been conveyed by George
Richards of Dover, Henry D. Van Nos
trand of Jersey City, and Henry D..
Van Nostrand, Jr, Of Bloomfield, to
Dewitt C. Ward of Montclair, n. j.,
for a consideration of $4,000. Mr..
Ward expresses the intention of pro-
ceeding at once with improvements on
grand scale, and to boom the place as
summer resort. He will erect hotel
which will outrival the Breslin on the
opposite side of the lake. A large
amount of capital will be expended in
the enterprise, and nothing that money,
taste and push can accomplish will be
spared in making veritable garden in
the wilderness.

Once More in Prison.

"Silver," Downing, the notorious New
ark thief who escaped from Morris Plains
Asylum two months ago, was recaptured
at Schenectady, N. Y, on Saturday. He
is remarkable fellow, and while serv-
ing term in the Trenton Prison for rob
bling Fiedler's hat store convinced the
physicians that he was lunatic. After
he had been in the asylum one year he
contrived to escape, and went to Newark,
where the officers were put ON his track
at once. Last week they heard that
Downing was at Schenectady and he was
brought back to Newark Saturday night
His brother, John Downing, occupies the
adjoining cell in the Essex County Jail
on an indictment for breaking, entering
and stealing. While Downing was in
the Essex jail awaiting trial in 1886 he
scaled fence, but was brought back by
Col. Johnson at the point of the pistol.
When he had received his year sentence
Downing wrenched the bars from his
cell and struck Watchman Bobb on the
head with one of them. He might have
killed Bobb had not Warden johnson
arrived with his revolver. Downing
will shortly be sent to Trenton to finish
his sentence.

Important Season to the Hebrews.

The present season is the most inns
portant in the year to the Jewish people,
and is strictly observed by them with
appropriate services in the synagogues
all over the country. Monday and Tues.
day of last week were observed as the
Jewish New Year, marking the begins
ming of the year 1868 since the creation
OF the world. The beginning of the New
Year and the Day of Atonement are the
most solemn periods. The Day of
Atonement this year was last Wednesday,
September 28th, and is the most strictly
observed of any day in the Jewish cali
endar. The celebration began at sunset
on Tuesday evening and ended after
dark on Wednesday evening. During
the whole day of twenty-four hours the
event was observed by an entire abstit
hence from food and drink, and one con-
tinuous service was held from morning
till night. After the solemn period, five
days later, is the Feast of the Tabernacle,
which will be continued seven days
the first two of which will be strictly
observed. The day following this feast
is known as the Eighth day of the Sol
emn Assembly and the ninth as the Day
of the Rejoicing OF the Law.

The Truth OF It.

In our issue of Sept. II, appeared q
communication from Recorder Chisolm,
which was cheerfully given place under
our we'll established rule of fair play
towards anyone claiming to have been
unfairly or unjustly criticised. We pub
Iished the communication without com
ment at the time, because we were glad TO
credit the Recorders version in the absence
of proof to the contrary
Since that time, however, we are credi-
bly, informed that the Recorder drew it
rather strong in the following paragraph ::
'Mr. John Garfield gave recent Street
Committee 100 loads of gravel conditional
upon its being placed upon the avenue.
It was taken, but not one load placed upon
the street in lieu thereof a few loads of
worthless stuff was put on near his pro-
perty which the first rains washed OF.
AS matter of fact, both the late Street
Commissioner and members of the recent
Street Committee deny this in toto, and
say that every load of said gravel was
placed where it was promised and, fur>
ther, that neither the late Commissioner
nor the recent Committee" took up in
ferior cobble stones from the avenue gut
tiers and replaced them with first quality
stones, using the inferior ones in Dublin
upon the theory that the avenue must
have the best while anything is good
enough for Dublin. This, it is alleged,
the present Committee has done. Besides
all this, the extended work on Madison
avenue is sadly draining the Street Depart
ment appropriation. while Franklin street
with its $4O0 pledged from the citizens, is
We don't want to be unfair
towards Recorder Chisolm, nor anyone
else, but facts are stubborn things, and
a predisposition to rush into print" does
not always dispose of them satisfactorily
even to 'painstaking and conscientious"
nuhlic officials

The New Ballot Box Law compulary.

i The failure of Bergen county, and
lsome other localities, to procure the new
glass ballot boxes has raised the question
as to the effect upon the approaching
election. The Paterson Press says
"a number of lawyers have declared
that the failure to buy new patent boxes
will have no effect on the election what
ever, but such eminent counsel as Gov
ernor Green, Attorney General Stockton
and Others have been quoted as saying
there Is no doubt that the courts Will
hold that all ballots that are not cast IN
the new ballot-boxes have been thrown
away. The elections in this State are
held under statute; II they were held
under the common law, the matter would
be different, but there is no common law
anectlng the elections IN this State they
are controlled exclusively py statues
passed by legislatures OF this State ana
these statutes provide just how the cleo
lions shall be held and describe the KIND
OF boxes to be used. Every portion OF
these statutes has been carried out, ana
in cases where they were not carried out
the elections have been thrown out by
the courts. The right Of the Legislature
to pass laws governing elections has
been we'll established and upheld by the
courts. The same power which pro-
vided that boxes with three keys and a
certain thickness of wood should be used
has now prescribed a different kind of
box; the propriety of passing the law
and whether the suspicion of Jobbery
which attaches to it has any foundation,
are matters Of the past the law is on theS
statute books and the people will have
to live up to it. These are the argu-
ments advanced by those who think the
new law is sufficient Importance to ins
duce every municipality to live up to it.
Bergen county has refused to buy the
boxes, the Corporation Counsel having
advised the freeholders that there is no
penalty attached to the violation of the
law. The same is the case with the old
law describing the methods under whichl
elections should be. carried on, and MOI
body was ever punished for not comply
ing with the provisions in relation to the

Mr.. E. A. Morrison and family, who
have been living on the Emmett place
the past Summer, returned to New York
Thursday evening. They were taken to
the depot by Mr.. Morrison's coachman,
who was instructed to drive the team TO
New York. But before the coachman
got out of town he got recklessly drunk,
and finally had collision with a hanson
cab, doing considerable damage to the
cab and also smashing the carriage of his
employer. The collision caused the
Morrison team to run away, and the
driver was thrown from his box and
dragged some distance before the horses
were stopped, but he escaped with only
slight bruises. By this time Marshal
Holloway appeared on the scene, and
taking the situation in at glance, arrest
ed the drunken coachman and he was
subsequently committed to Jail for ioul
DAYS.

found, but the money was burned to ashes.
He had drawn the cash from the bank
some time ago, because he thought it was
